QUOTE(signither @ Oct 2 2008, 01:41 AM) just wanna ask, which cable is suitable for making IC (mini-mini, mini-RCA, mini-LOD) and headphone recable, is it Canare L-4E6S or Canare L-2T2S?? thanks  L-4E6S = 4 core shielded cable L-2T2S = 2 core shielded cable so the L-4E6S would be better for a more universal application... QUOTE(BigSaver @ Oct 2 2008, 03:14 AM) err..guys..wanna ask..this diy cable can improve sounds quality?..really need to know.. depending on the cables used....yes.

almost a year since the last post....so me bring it up again  its been almost a year since ive touched my soldering iron let alone make a cable...i was so rusty it took me 6 and a half hours to finish this RCA-RCA cable  sheesh! anyway...my latest creation...uni-directional RCA-RCA cables for use from my Fubar II USB DAC to my Battery Cute II Headamp. Canare F10 RCA Plugs Canare L-4E6S StarQuad WBT Silver Solder Sleeved with shoelaces (yes, shoelaces)  closeup of the sleeves...   didnt turn out as nice as i'd hope.....but itll still work the same
